Leadership today is dynamic, shaped by hybrid working, wellbeing priorities, and data-driven decisions. That’s why ILM’s new suite of Leadership & Management qualifications is designed to be as adaptable as the leaders they develop.
Why flexibility matters
Our qualifications help learners and organisations thrive in modern workplaces through:
- Customised structure and progression pathways
Choose Award, Certificate, or Diploma routes at each level. Optional units let you customise learning journeys based on role, interests, or career aspirations.
- Workplace-relevant assessment
Streamlined assessment – focused on real-world evidence. Learners create a portfolio based on workplace activities, using digital or paper-based formats.
- Support for diverse needs
From reasonable adjustments to varied assessment formats, we make leadership development accessible for everyone.
Developed with learners in mind
Flexibility isn’t just a feature – it’s a game-changer. Allowing you to design learning around real roles, sectors and priorities, so leaders build practical capability and apply it immediately.
Here’s how learners benefit:
- Busy professionals balancing work and study
A team leader in a fast-paced environment wants to upskill but has limited time.
Solution: Start with an Award, later progress to a Diploma, using workplace activities as evidence.
- Career changers or aspiring leaders
A technical specialist transitioning into leadership needs foundational skills.
Solution: Select optional units relevant to new responsibilities and use RPL to avoid duplication.
A manager leading a dispersed team wants to improve virtual leadership.
Solution: Optional units like Supporting Flexible Working and Leading and Managing Wellbeing provide practical strategies, with digital portfolios enabling remote submission.
